I have gone into devices and printers and added the dell AIO 946 and right click on it to make it my default printer. When I go into my window documents and try to print - it is all blank pages -

Starting ******* and doing drugs, screw this era. I hope the whole entire thing crashes!!!!!!!!!!!!

Normal 0 Could have a corrupt driver.
Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and when the CD software program asks you to connect the printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud

Hi, The problem here is that the CD has an older version of the driver which has some known issues. Few steps will be required to fix this.

1. Unplug the printer
   
2. Goto control panel -> Add/Remove programs (or) Programs & features (Vista), uninsuatll the Dell Printer software if listed.
   
3. Download the Driver from the Dell Support Website

Try to reset the printer and print the demo page

SOURCE: Dell 946 AIO printer won't stop beeping after firmware update attempt

Same thing happened to me....yesterday I went online at www.dell.com to download the latest firmware & driver for my Dell 946 Printer. After downloading the firmware the printer went haywire and is rendered useless. It emits beeps and the green power light will stay lit then flash every 3 seconds or so. There is no read-out on the lcd display.
I phoned Dell only to be told I should not have downloaded the firmware and that Dell does not recommend downloading firmware. If that is the case then why is the firmware listed on the Dell site with instructions to do so? I was advised that no support could be offered because the printer is out of warranty and was told to uninstall the printer and re-install. I have tried everything, including uninstalling printer, unplugging printer, etc. and nothing has helped. I have researched online and note that this is a recurrent problem. This problem is noted in the forums section of Dell.com - I have followed directions listed in the forum section of Dell.com as noted (see below websites) but this has not fixed the problem....

Since this seems to be a known problem and the problem is actually caused by downloading firmware from the Dell site I feel it is an injustice not to offer some type of support to rectify the problem. I have always bought Dell products and advised others to do so, but with this problem I feel that I will be changing my brand that I purchase.

I will be contacting Consumer Reports - I feel this warrants some type of recall!!
